Episode guide
Previously on 24
- Bill Buchanan sacrifices himself to save President Allison Taylor. Thanks to this, Jack can kill General Benjamin Juma while the FBI secures the President. Jack approaches Larry Moss with information that Bill gave him before dying about someone from outside aiding Juma. He suggests to Larry that they must further interrogate Ryan Burnett.
- President Allison Taylor tells Ethan Kanin her idea of bringing her daughter, Olivia, as a special adviser. Ethan disagrees with the idea because of Olivia's past actions during her mother's campaigns. When Ethan approaches Olivia with the offer, she attacks him for allowing all this corruption to reach her mother.
- Renee Walker is suspended by Larry Moss after she circumvented his authority by taking Jack's information to Ethan Kanin.
- Jonas Hodges worries that Burnett might spoil all their plans, but Greg Seaton assures him that he already sent someone to take care of Burnett.
- Jack Bauer is taken to question Burnett. While he is doing so, Quinn infiltrates the hospital room paralyzing Jack with a nerve gas, kills Burnett, and gets back out. When Jack recovers movement, he realizes he is being framed and escapes just as Larry enters the room. Jack calls him from outside and assures him he didn't do anything and that the threat is not over yet.

Background information and notes
- Series regulars James Morrison, Colm Feore, and Rhys Coiro do not appear in this episode.
- The encryption Renee used on the e-mail to Jack is a fictional version of Blowfish-148. Morris decrypts this in a matter of seconds, claiming the 'designer of this algorithm built a backdoor in his code'. In real life, the keysize of Blowfish is always a multiple of eight, which 148 isn't. Also, Blowfish was designed by Bruce Scheier in 1993 and released into the public domain. Any backdoor present in real life would have been detected long ago.
